CHICAGO, June 1S.-The ''boodle"
case went to the jury this morning at 10
O'Clock. Both the state and the defense
handed in Instructions, which were
read by Judge Shepard with only few
notifications, and no comments one
way or the other. When Judge Shepard
resumed his seat on the bench, in re-
Spouse to a notice from the jury that
they had agreed upon verdict,
the defendants managed to keep up
an appearance of GOODNESS. Mcdonald
was apparently entirely occupied with a
newspaper he was reading. NJ. G..
Mcdonald sat behind his brother. Only
couple of attorneys on each side were
present, the others not expecting YER
diet so soon. The space inside the rail
ing was filled with those who had
figured in the trial, while the lobby was
almost empty. As the jury were led in
THEY LOOKED SOLEMN,
and their appearance spread the pre-
sumption at once that the verdict would
go against the defendants. Remarks of
this character were heard everywhere
in the room. When Judge Shepard
asked: "Gentlemen, have you agreed
on verdict" Foreman Fitzpatrick
replied: I'VE have" and everybody
turned toward the clerks desk, where
the verdict had just been laid
by Dalllf. Only the de-
PENDANTS looked straight ahead.
''Read the verdict" the court ordered,
and Clerk Flynn, trembling with sup
pressed excitement, read the jury'S de-
clsion, Guilty as charged and three
years in the penitentiary.' McGarigle
fixed his piercing black eyes on the
jury, and for moment there flashed
through them light betraying passion.
His face assumed a deep red, and mo
ment later his frame collapsed and his
head fell forward on his breast. Nc
Donald dropped his paper and

but his brother whispered a few words
in his ear and he maintained his erect,
stolid position. Two minutes later he
was again lost, or pretending to be lost,
in his newspaper. The attorneys for
the defense asked that the jury be
pOlled. Commencing with Juror Quin-
Ian the clerk questioned each of the
twelve and each answered firmly that
the verdict was his. A motion for
new trial was at once entered by the
defence. Judge Shepard said he would
hear arguments at some future
time and, Notwithstanding the
protests of defendants coun-
sci. declined to admit either
Mcdonald or McGarigle to bail. Coun-
sci pleaded that any amount of bail
would be forthcoming, but Judge Shep-
ard held that the offense being felony
he could not comply, and, therefore. the
defendants wOnld be remanded to the
custody OF the sheriff until Monday.
The decision of this point fell with
crushing effect upon the defendants,
their counsel and friends, but after
few minutes OminouS silence court was
declared adjourned, and in the custody

firm tread walked out of the court.
over the covered iron bridge and into
the county jail. The jury had little diff
ficulty in arriving at their verdict of
guilty, the only disputed point being
the penalty. Three Of the jurors are
said not to have wanted to go above one
year, but on the third ballot agreed to
